Hey Everyone, I'm Xhukari!

[Xhukari]

Hey Guys!
I'm new to this forum

My life generally revolves around games; playing or (attempting) to make them in my spare time! I have just finished a BTEC Level 2 IT Course with D*D*D, and will be moving onto Computer Science at Uni this year!

My mainstay program for game making has been Flash 8, Actionscript 2.0.
(Would you believe that when I used to use Game Maker, I used to try to make stick animations in it, rather than make games?! haha)

Nice to meet ya all :D

Hey there... guy with a sort of asian looking name of like a character or province...

I shall call you: Huki.

But yeah, welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy your stay with us, you'll find we're a pretty cool bunch to hang around with and we all pretty much bum vidyah gaemz... so yeah.

 

[coyotecraft]

Welcome! Cool to see another member who uses flash.

 

[Xhukari]

Asian? Haha yeah I get that a lot :p
I made the name up :D
Used to go by Sythius, but people kept pronouncing it wrong, so I stopped using it.

I guess you're on AS 3.0, Coyotecraft? Do you have any work I could see? I don't have much to show off really xD

 

[coyotecraft]

I'll probably never show off my flash stuff here. Just simple interactive menus, scrolling elements, and animations.

 

[Xhukari]

Aaaah I see, so you use it for more of its commercial purpose.
Fair do's

 

[Jason]

SOMEONE ELSE THAT SAYS FAIR DO'S! I LOVE YOU ALREADY! :heart:

Huzzah!

Good luck with Comp Sci. I should have done that. Better than an actual gaming course.

 

[Xhukari]

Yay I'm loved :D
Thanks Wyatt, my insurance courses are actually two Gaming courses xD
But I reckoned, those courses are so specific, and the games industry has been around a long time before those courses.. so they must've used the more generic courses like Computer Science, which would open more doors than the gaming ones.
I ultimately do want to break into the gaming industry to some degree, even if its a small time indie thing.
